We are constantly trying google for the magic formula to change the world or make a difference.

Well, instead of trying to figure out a methodology, how about getting started by asking ourselves, "What can we do today to make this a better place for us to live in?"

I begin my day by pledging to do these three things everyday:

1. Spread Positivity and Good Vibes

I believe a good way to motivate one another is to share joy and happiness. While it is important to know the possible dangers around us, it does not mean we should flood our social media accounts with fear-mongering posts.

2. Speak Up, and Take Action

"If you care about it, what can you do to make it happen?" I learned to question myself whenever I feel strongly about something. This mindset was taught by my mentor. Too many people speak up and just watch. The world needs more doers.

3. Be Kind

Truly, it does not cost anything to smile to the person sitting next to you on a train. Random acts of kindness creates domino effect as others appreciate what was done for them and then decide to do good to someone else in turn.

“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?”

― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard
